Are you a cosplayer going to this year’s New York Comic-Con? Then do I have good news for you. io9 and Kotaku are throwing our first ever Cosplay Ball on Thursday, October 6, presented by Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. There’ll be drinks, dancing, and a lot more, so mark the date in your calendar, and stay tuned for details on how to attend. (One hint: You’re gonna need to cosplay.)

But that’s not all! If you’re a cosplayer with an interesting story to tell—and you’re attending NYCC—then we want to talk to you for an upcoming video series. If you think you qualify, please email Fritzie.Andrade@gawker.com and tell us what makes you special. You could end up on io9!
